Just a quick reminder, tonight in the Mixoloseum Bar we’ll be making drinks with Leblon Cachaça.  It’s not too late to get a bottle and join us!  7pm Eastern, be there!

Early warning this week that tomorrow night, 7pm will be the TDN chat where we all sit around and make up drinks and then drink them and get sloshed together.  It’s fun!

This week’s theme is fruit liqueurs.  So everything from Peach schnapps to Midori to Cherry Heering to (heaven forbid) Apple Pucker is fair game.  Actually, it would take some SERIOUS balls (and skillz) to break out the Apple Pucker in that room and come up with a cocktail that most everyone there would agree is good.  I know I couldn’t come up with one.  I’ll give a shiny nickel to anyone who can do it.

Oh, and double-heads-up…in two weeks, on the 20th, we’re going to be having a very special night featuring Leblon Cachaça.  Cachaça, if you didn’t know, is the spirit used in caipirinhas, a delicious drink you’ve probably had if you’ve ever been to a Brazillian steakhouse like Fogo de Chão.  But that night we’re going to see what else we can do with cachaça, how we can maybe put a new twist on the caipirinha, and what it’s all about.  I’m warning you about it ahead of time so you can make sure and get a bottle of Leblon so you can join in the fun with us.

I apologize for the light posting this week, I’ll get back to regularly scheduled programming soon enough.  Just wanted to remind you guys that tonight is Thursday Drink Night at the Mixoloseum, and the theme is gin.  The stipulation?  Pick up a bottle of gin that you’ve never tried before.  Should be a good time, last week’s chat yielded a crapload of cocktails.  Starts at 7pm (*UPDATE* I should have mentioned, that’s Eastern time).

Oh, and shout-out to reader morris, who I chatted with for a minute after I showed up woefully late.  If anyone showed up earlier, I’m sorry I missed ya.  Thanks for stopping by!

I know I’ve told you I’m not going to deprive you of certain events on the interwebs, and I’m sticking to that.  So tonight join the crew in the Mixoloseum Bar for some crazy cocktail madness, hosted by the one and only SeanMike of the Scofflaw’s Den.  He’s chosen the theme of Irish whiskey (mmmmm) for this week, so all the drinks will be based around one or another of the blessed bottled beverages birthed in the beloved* homeland of all whiskeys: Ireland.

So go pick up a bottle of something on your way home from work today, take inventory of your bar, and join in the merriment with fellow booze-lovers and mix up some (mostly) fantastic drinks.  It’s practically the weekend, do you really give a shit if you’re a little hung over on a Friday?  I don’t!
